How to Serve
This Fresh Pineapple Salsa is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of savory dishes.
Serve it with:
- Oven roasted chicken for a sweet and spicy contrast
- Fish tacos or shrimp tacos for a fresh, citrusy topping
- Blackened salmon or other cajun shrimp for a bright, balanced bite
Storage
Store Fresh Pineapple Salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
For best results:
- Stir before serving, as the juices will naturally settle
- Drain off a little excess liquid if it becomes too watery
- Keep it tightly sealed to maintain freshness. This also prevents it from absorbing other flavors
This salsa is best enjoyed fresh, as the pineapple and tomatoes will continue to release moisture over time, softening the texture.
